Living with Loss - New Academic Year Groups

You Don't Have to Face Loss Alone

New Living with Loss Support Groups Starting Academic Year 2025-2026

For Students • PhDs • TUD Staff

When Loss Feels Overwhelming

Experiencing loss while navigating academic life can feel isolating and can significantly affect your study progress. Whether you're grieving a loved one, facing unexpected change, or processing difficult emotions, you don't have to carry this burden alone.

"In shared stories, we find strength. In understanding hearts, we find healing."

Our Living with Loss support groups offer a compassionate space where TU Delft community members can share, heal, and grow together. Motiv offers professional support so you can move on with your studies and personal life.
